Dragon

Dragons are the legendary, usually winged, magical reptiles. Their identity is draconic body power, a supernatural force within, and overwhelming dominance: everything about them carries apex majesty, ancient predation and inherited nature.

Senses: normal (sight, hearing, smell, touch and taste) unless a trait says otherwise.
